You have a very narrow understanding of European cultural history that is barely just comprehensive enough to support your own prejudices.

Maybe man does not need to be an economic superpower in order to achieve success or happiness. Here is an old time story :
Indian Chief 'Two Eagles' was asked by a white government official; "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued; "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied.. "When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine Man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled; "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

I know there is much much more to this migration story. It's about expansion, It's about survival, it's about weather, It's about birth rates, both growing and declining. I also think regardless of open arms or welcome mats, things will continue to rapidly change in the landscape of Europe.

Yah, European Colonialism of Africa is pretty much omitted from the written record , isn't it.
What did you call the destruction of Libya, the crushing of the Arab Spring in places like Egypt? I think those are Africa nations. South Africa, Somalia, Mali, Congo, Chad, and a host of others... no, no colonialism there.
But thanks for showing your prejudice, trying to bury the truth.
Most westerners have been taught the lie Africa is poor because its black.

That’s a good story it made me chuckle, there’s much truth in it too.
As far as Europe colonising other parts of the world they did it with more advanced technology, they did it for expansion, profit and access to resources and control of trade. They also had it done to them by the Romans, and although Rome fell, the Holy Roman Empire continued to rule much of Europe until the Napoleonic wars.
The Romans were not the first empire builders either, before them there were many others, mostly centred around the Middle East. Wars have always been fought over territory and resources.
The current mass migration to Europe though isn’t about a technologicaly superior people conquering another, it’s an engineered program with the intention of diluting Europeans culture, rights and values. Part of the globalists agenda.

You call it punishment, others would call it cause and effect. To think that this is only regarding mistakes of your ancestors is simply not true. The US is guilty of this too.
For example: "Today's report estimates that $29bn a year is being stolen from Africa in illegal logging, fishing and trade in wildlife."

No, there is a lot hype to it ... no truth.
The Vatican, is not and never was the holy roman empire ... it is built on the bones of romans.
The Romans were murdered to extinction, as were the hellenians. Same fate for the Inka's and the Mayan's. European settlers, settled in Roman ruins, and dwelled in their tents ... until after the year 1000, when Europe started to evolve further than braindead.

So, in your opinion, like the OP, you think modern Europeans deserve to be punished as vengeance for the mistakes of our ancestors, even though everyone else was making the same mistakes at the time?

I've been reading a lot of stories about a massive wave of African migrants waiting in the Mediterranean to cross into Europe. We are talking millions of people and not thousands. It appears that the European welcome mat has gone away. Those that do want migrants want them conditionally, with the thought they must conform to the European culture, and way of life. History tells us that is not going to happen. History also tells us maybe the Africans didn't like it when Europe colonized them either, Hello, talking to you King Leopold and the Belgian Congo. We can only assume the atrocities that happened there, but I imagine it was much much worse.
Although I love Europe and grew up there for most of my life, I can't say I'm sorry that this is happening. It is sad that the European culture will change, but I think about all the natural riches of Africa that Europe has stolen over the generations. It is undeniable that their culture was forever changed too.
Even here in the good ol' US, I find it odd that so many Americans want to Keep the Mexicans out when in reality they probably have a closer tie to the Native Americans of this land (talking to you Texas & California, you know the truth!)
Side story: I was standing in Home Depot minding my own business when an old white dude came up and told me to go back across the border (true story). I wondered what border since I am part Iroquois. You just can't make this stuff up. Upon hearing that statement my husband, part Blackfoot, who is also the most kind gentle man I've ever known, made the most animalistic wolf growl sound I've ever heard. That old guy took off like a bat out of hell after that.
One thing is for sure, history does repeat itself and sometimes the second time around it is twice as ugly!
